SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
The IOM-29-4, IOM-29-4-IR, IOM-29-4-LR, IOM-39 -1 and IOM-39-1-LR connectors use Class 1 Laser transceivers.
Read the following safety information before installing or operatin g one of these modules.
The Class 1 Laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to main tain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop
eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user
adjustment. Class 1 Laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:
•
21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).
•
IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
•
CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission
limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.
LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power
exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6dBm or 55x10
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver a llows laser r adiation to emit d irectly f rom the o ptical po rt. Th e
maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases
eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, you must remove power from the network adapter.

REVISION HISTORY
Document Name:SmartSwitch 6500 Us er Guide

Document Order Number:9032706
Author: Bruce Jordan
Editor: Carre Gibson
Illustrator: Mike Fornalski
Welcome to the SmartSwitch 6500 User Guide. The SmartSwitch 6500 is a high-performance ATM switch that
supports 10 Gbps non-blocking capacity, massive buffering capabilities, superior traffic management and shaping, a
wide variety of port interfaces, and redundancy for fault tolerance in backbone environments.
The SmartSwitch 6500 fits into the SmartSwitch 6C1 10 chassis, and is bas ed on a multi-module architect ure consisting
of the following three main modules
•
Cell Storage module (CSM), contains the cell memory (512k cells)
•
Translation and Scheduling module (TSM), supports the physical ports and hardware for traffic
management an d shaping
•
CPU module (daughter card on TSM), contains the hardware for running the SmartSwitch 6500
system software
•
Input/Output modules (IOM), provides the physical ATM ports (daughter cards on TSM)
Collectively, by communicating with each other over the chassis’ high-speed backplane, these modules make up the
SmartSwitch 6500, an integrat ed, high performance, ATM backbone switch. Furth ermore, SmartSwitch 6500 modu les
can coexist within the SmartSwitch 6C110 chassis with other Cabletron networking devices. For example, th e slots of
the 6C110 chass is can be populat ed by a mix of S martSwitch 6500 mo dules an d Smar tSwit ch 600 0 Eth ernet switches .
Both the CSM and TSM are hot swappable. This means that you can install and remove TSMs and CSMs from the
6C110 chassis without turning of chassis power. However, removing either the active CSM or TSM/CPU does not
trigger automatic switch-over to the redundant modules. For switch-over to occur the SmartSwitch 6500 must be
rebooted.
By performing the steps described in the next two chapters of this manual, your switch will be physically assembled
and installed, accessible on your Ethernet network, configured for redundancy, and running either an IP over ATM
VLAN or an emulated Ethernet or Token Ring LAN.
Subsequent chapters provi de instruction s and information abo ut switch use, main tenance, and proble m solving. These
topics include
•
Creating multi-level PNNI network topologies
•
Creating PVCs and PVP connections
•
Creating and using virtual ports
•
Adding routes
•
Dealing with bandwidth and controlling congestion
•
Upgrading software
•

SmartSwitch 6500 Modules Introducing the SmartSwitch 6500
1.1SMARTSWITCH 6500 MODULES
Before continuing, read the following section. This section is provided to quickly give you a better, more detailed
understanding of the function and operation of each of the SmartSwitch 6500’s modules.
1.1.1Cell Storage Module (CSM)
CSMs provide the main switching fabric for the SmartSwitch 6500. The CSM also provides cell storage and output
queuing, and dynamically shares memory among all active connections. The CSM monitors overall utilization of
shared memory and communicates this information to the TSM modules, where it’s used in making decisions about
incoming cell-acceptance. The CSM controls TSM access to the backplane cell data busses at both ingress
(TSM-to-CSM) and egre ss (CS M -to-TSM). The CSM can also provid e cl ock an d sy nc s i gnal gen erat i on f or net wo rk
clocking.
For redundancy, the SmartSwitch 6500 supports up to two CSMs in a single 6C110 chassis. When one CSM is active,
the other CSM is in standby mode. If the active CSM fails, the standby CSM can be made to assumes the active role.
NoteCSMs must reside in SmartSwitch 6C110 chassis slots nine (9) or ten (10).
1.1.2Translation and Scheduling Module (TSM)
TSMs are responsible for SmartSwitch 6500 traffic management functions. For example, TSMs perform header
translation for ingress and egress cell traffic, provide por t queue management for ABR (including EPD and PPD during
congestion), and EFCI marking for forward congestion. TSMs are responsible for per-port/per-class queue
management, cell scheduling and both physical and logical multicast support. TSMs also provide system interfaces for
the CPU modules, the SAR, and all I/O modules.
The SmartSwitch 6C110 chassis can contain up to eight TSMs, two of which can contain CPU modules. Also, each
TSM can support up to two IOMs; depending on the interface type, this pro vides each TSM with up to eight ATM ports.
1.1.3CPU Module
CPU module are mounte d on TSMs as a daughter cards. Th e CPU module runs the sys tem software, an d provides both
intra-switch and inter-switch communication for configuration and monitoring. The CPU module is also responsible
for providing both a serial and Ethernet interface, through which the user interface and network management facilities
are accessed.
NoteWhile the CPU module provides the serial and Ethernet interfaces, the external
connectors for these interfaces reside on the CSM module.
For redundancy, the SmartSwitch 6500 allows two CPU modules (each mounted on a separate TSM) to exist within
the same SmartSwitch 6C100 chassis. When one CPU module is active, the other CPU is in standby mode. If the active
CPU module fails, the standby CPU module can be made to assumes the active role.
1-2 SmartSwitch 6500 User Guide
Introducing the SmartSwitch 6500SmartSwitch 6500 Modules
NoteThe TSMs that support the CPU modules must reside in SmartSwitch 6C110
chassis slots seven (7) or eight (8).
1.1.4Input/Output Modules (IOMs)
IOMs provide the physical ATM ports for the SmartSwitch 6500 and are mounted as daughter cards on the TSMs. The
TSMs of the SmartSwitch 6500 support a number of different I/O modules with a variety of interfaces and media types;
I/O modules are described in detail in Appendix A, "Specifications." Each TSM can support up to two I/O modules,
and each I/O module provides four physical ports (one physical port per OC-12 I/O module). This allows for a
maximum of eight ports per TSM, and a total of 64 ports for a SmartSwitch 6C110 chassis populated by the maximum
number of TSMs (eight TSMs).
